Sant Cugat del Vallès is a town only a half an hour train journey from Barcelona, in the region of Vallès Occidental. It has lots of history starting by its Benedictine monastery, whose origins can be traced to the 9th century, and as it is surrounded by amazing natural areas. It has the feel of European small towns with old buildings, slow town life and narrow streets.
My brother-in-law and family spent a sabbatical year in Sant Cugat!
Que belleza de lugar!
